Having worked with juniors for years, I commend you for this realization: it is so important to ask questions and address unknown factors or terminology head on. This not only speeds up personal development, but enhances the outcome of the complete project and timeline. I would even go so far as to make this one of the most important factors for new developers on a team in general.

I agree. And for those of us who are a little more senior, one thing I think we can do to help speed things up is to try to be more open for questions, and maybe even ask "is there anything you would like my help with?" occasionally (just like the boss did in this story)
